We all know Takeshi Matsuura’s mind-blowing 5A skills, and we end up forgetting how incredibly amazing he is at other divisions! Remember 2010? He won both 3A and 5A at Japan Nationals that year.

Last weekend, at the 2014 North Japan Regional Yo-yo Contest, held in the cold Sapporo, Takeshi reminded us that his 1A is also top-notch, as he took the top spot with some fantastic tricks!

Also worth mentioning is Hiraku Fujii’s victory in 2A. We don’t see Hiraku as often these days, and it’s always great to see him on stage!
